The Windsor brewery is huge. Here's a photo of it when it was under construction. Bigger in person. I think opened in 2019. We went to the Santa Rosa one alot until the Windsor location opened up. Pliny the Younger crazy lines. Nice to know you worked at Bear Republic. Windsor is growing. 🍺✌️🐝

@keyserlauze.bsky.social Historical and possibly archaeological proof that in 2022 I was the proud owner of some moss - somewhere. I do not recall what happened to this moss but this is proof that I am officially part of the "mossy crew" referred to in the original post. 🥴✌️🐝🐝🐝

And now we have an Australian Cattle Dog. He's too smart and we're too old to keep up with him. I love dogs ! They do sense when you need companionship and when you're just not feeling well. They're the best. ✌️🐝🐝🐝

Thanks! I couldn't determine from the profile photo the type of dog. Rio is beautiful! We had an Australian Shepherd before - they're so smart. Here's Pepper. I'm in Northern California - San Rafael. A documentary about Guide Dogs for the Blind was made by Disney 😬 called "Pick of the Litter".

Good morning. Here is one of the photos my husband took from Muir Woods that I posted a few weeks ago. We're planning to go back in a few weeks - my husband's camera wasn't quite charged so he wants to go back and take more photos. Plus it's a wonderful place for a peaceful hike. Cheers! 💙🐝

Hi Holger. Here's a photo of a white bird of paradise that blossomed for the first time this year. We've had this plant since it was very small - bought it at Home Depot of all places and it never blossomed except for this year. I like the blue on the top of it's "beak". have a wonderful evening.

A surprise! How cool is that. I wish I had the energy to take on a surprise like that. Dogs do bring joy and unconditional love . . . so I guess the challenges are worth it. Here's ours - Toby. He's like a teenager not that there's anything wrong with that - but we're older so hard to keep up. 😬

Peanuts Comic Strip creator Charles Schulz lived here in Santa Rosa. They have a great museum here in his name. There are many of these cute rather large characters throughout the area including the airport. These two throwing a frisbee are at the Russian River Brewery. The museum is very nice.

Just my way of saying Good Morning to Bonsai Zen @bonsaizen.bsky.social Here's a photo from 2022 of my maples in my backyard. My husband is building several tables for my bonsai over the next few weeks. He didn't care for the original ones. Looking for shade since North. CA is very sunny.

Mossy Monday 😬 I'm running out of moss . . . so here's my attempt at it today from my bonsai water fountain. California dry weather and sun just doesn't support moss so will have to dream about it. 🤣🤣😉 #MossyMonday @keyserlauze.bsky.social

We bought the bowl in San Rafael, CA. at Routes Gallery. He sold out and carries them only as he can get them. It's actually a huge rock with a carved out interior so it would be hard to ship. Here's a photo of the bowl. (see next message)
